‘Progress’ a “piece of piss” says Robbie

In an interview with the Telegraph published today (May 29), the band spoke about their tour shortly before it began, with the ever-confident prodigal son Robbie Williams saying: “This show’s a piece of piss. It really is. Hit after hit after hit after hit after hit.”

Bandmate Gary Barlow, however, sees the work that lies ahead: “It’s a tricky job,” he said. “There’s five of us. We’ve all got our little family trees leaving here every day. It’s a hard balance to get us out on the road for three months. It’s a big job. It’s a big job.”

The interview with the band also reaffirmed that the reunion between Robbie and his old bandmates is likely not a permanent one – as Barlow stated earlier this year on Radio 2 that “we still see our future as a four-piece band.” Mark Owen revealed to the Telegraph “Rob’s gonna be doing something himself, hopefully in the next year.”
